Our Verdict
Roborock Q5/Q5+
Roborock Q5 Max+
Compared to the Roborock Q5/Q5+, the Roborock Q5 Max+ represents a step forward in most respects. The latter's twin roller floorhead makes it a much better option for dealing with pet hair. The Q5 Max+ also has a considerably larger internal dustbin, so it won't need to return to its self-empty station as often, and it boasts better overall battery performance. That said, the older Q5's bristled roller can provide more surface agitation on carpets, and as a result, it can have an easier time dealing with finer debris embedded with carpet fibers.
